It appears that it was my VPN that caused the non-stop 500 Internal Server Error pop-up, and caused the captcha to not load. Couldn’t log in either.

If it was because that particular IP address is banned it should have given me a different error message, yes?

Maybe it is just my tinfoil sense tingling, but I’ve got a bad feeling about this. It is starting to glow a little too brightly.

Better write more now before I can't post again. Tried to clone the site as best as possible on 8chan.moe. Looks ok. Archived this board as best as I can tell with 'httrack'. But really had no idea what I was doing so wouldn't be surprised if I've missed out on a bunch of stuff. Neither Ron nor Jim really addressed anything. I saw Jim post one comment about everything running smoothly for a Q thread but that's it. Let's start again on moe.

Never thought I would see well done lewd Wojak edits…

This upcoming has some top tier /sapphic/ themed maymays and fanart potential as well.

Think this comes from a WebM thread from /b/

Remember seeing some ASMR connoisseurs over at /tingles/ argue if one of the ASMR “artists” they were discussing was a lesbian.

Wtf is that video? Could only make it about 3 mins in. Of course it came from /b/.

It is a pretty spot on parody of ASMR “artists”.

Looks like she never skips leg pussy day at the gym and has Kegel muscles of steel.

Seen videos of guys (in Japan?) lifting weights with their tackle; wonder how much a chick could lift if she did her Kegel exercises every day 🤔

Just got Bliss of my backlog last night, pic only tangentially related :^).

I wonder if it was influenced by Cosmatos' work, lots of parallels to Mandy.

One thing I noticed right away was that Clive was played by the same actor from Like Me (the guy from the store that gets robbed).

The movie overall was a visual feast and very entertaining, and the ending was a bit of a surprise. I had been guessing for the entire movie that the painting was a portal to hell she was unknowingly creating. So it was a bit of a twist to me. When I saw Dante enter the movie and the faces of the people she'd been killing in the painting I thought this was a confirmation of my theory, only to find out I was completely wrong in the end.

I must say, however, that as technically impressive specially as it was (specially considering the tight budget) it felt a bit empty. The intensity of the drug binges challenged my suspension of disbelief too, specially in the first part.

About the sunlight, I think it's weird that we see her exposed to it before that lethal sunrise with no ill effects.

Not an easy role to play though. Think they found a good balance between sane and unhinged for Isaac. They could easily have gone off the deep end and into camp territory, but he kept the performance grounded. That makes it harder to sit through when he turns on Emma.

That opening credits sequence was really beautiful – very much like the opening to Corman’s Poe adaptation Pit and the Pendulum (1961) – very colourful, which is a welcomed change from the usual dreary and dark colour palette in most horror films. The open shot with Isaac’s mother washing her bloody hands in the sink was great too.

Wish the film would had kept all the weird, unnatural elements to the dream scenes. When the sword is thrown back from the sea it kinda lessened the impact of the film’s end. Deranged cultists acting on their beliefs can be just as eerie and disturbing without revealing whether or not they are right or wrong.

Also, when the big twist comes and Isaac is sacrificed instead of Emma, it struck me as very contrived that the cultists tied her up and put her on the raft. That was just to trick the audience.

Some of the lighting was beautifully done; at times it was a bit too much, especially some of the kitchen scenes were too saturated in orange – maybe the wooden panelling made it look that way?

Some fun nods to HPL thru the film too, which was nice. Really prefer this more subtle take on it, than the all out monster films.

At first I found it hard to imagine Emma going to Renate, but when I thought about afterwards, she only knew Renate was involved with these strange customs. As the audience we, of course, expects her to be a sinister character, but Emma couldn’t have known the cult was Wicker Man style crazy.

That makes it harder to sit through when he turns on Emma.

When he wakes up and doesn't give a shit that she is hyperventilating from a nightmare was when I paused it to comment. It felt like there wasn't much of him shown as anything more thank blank in the beginning to show much change. We see him say "a lady is present" at the bar and that's about it. And even that can be said by anyone keeping up appearances. There was no 'original' Isaac for me to care for to lament his 'change'.

>That opening credits sequence was really beautiful

Yes, LOVED the opening credits but the colour scheme got overdone and quick.

>Some of the lighting was beautifully done; at times it was a bit too much

The phrase 'paint by numbers' came to mind when considering the lighting. For the most part it lacked something, maybe atmosphere? Though I did like the nightmare with the glowing amulets in the night scene. Like a fun retro 80s horror.

>Deranged cultists acting on their beliefs can be just as eerie and disturbing without revealing whether or not they are right or wrong.

Agreed.

>Also, when the big twist comes and Isaac is sacrificed instead of Emma, it struck me as very contrived that the cultists tied her up and put her on the raft. That was just to trick the audience.

Again agreed. I was surprised for a split second when she was tied as I was sure that Isaac was to be slaughtered. But even then presumed it would play out as it did. The narrative has been done before. As soon as he spoke of his dad at the house, I had suspicions. These suspicions were cemented with the bar scene that followed. Made me think of that Niven and Kerr movie Eye of the Devil.

Yeah, that was a rather odd reaction. It was also a bit weird how he just got out of the car and went for the front door when they arrived, without helping or making sure his pregnant wife was OK.

When they are looking at the painting of the boat caught in a storm I got the implication that he was a Christian; at least he had been raised Christian, yet he is very quick to abandon that and his wife to join this new, weird cult he’s just found out about.

>Yes, LOVED the opening credits but the colour scheme got overdone and quick.

They blew their load too quickly. It would be pretty hard to keep up after an opening like that.

>I guess she stays. Voluntarily not sure.

Sounds exactly like what happened to Isaac’s mother, only she managed to get away when she found out they were going to sacrifice her son.

Since their sacrifice, Isaac, got away they would have to find another person to sacrifice, yes? Maybe that person was Renate’s husband? That would explain why it felt like a catharsis for her when she finally sacrifices Isaac – if he hadn’t managed to get away, maybe her husband would still be alive?

>Kek. Emma should've punched Isaac in the mouth when they got home.

Some of their interactions were quite fun tbh. The talk about whales and harpooning…

>I thought they would have sex and that Astrid would get pregnant so they wouldn't need Emma if she escaped or died. Lol.

Was certain it’d be some kind of Innsmouth-style story where the baby, Isaac & Emma’s, would be some eldritch abomination, but my expectations were pleasantly subverted. I think that kind of story has been doPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Rumour is someone posted the link to the thread on halfchan. No doubt some asshurt waifuist who wanted to flood the election when it dawned on him his waifu wouldn’t win.

The Meganfag(s) are actually redpilled on race, but their taste in waifu leaves a lot to be desired.

Gahoole pretending to shill for The Rock probably didn’t help either.

>Really makes you think. You don’t suppose they could be trying to compensate for something, do you?

Just my opinion, but it might be that the importance of it to the artist is symbolized by exaggerating its size. Maybe fertility. There are similar things regarding women in ancient art as well. I'm no art history major, though.

<Kali

I thought she was connected with the current yuga, Kali Yuga, but apparently it is named after a (male) demon, also named Kali.

That sounds more likely tbh., and there is often a comedic element to ukiyo-e art, plus it is often really weird from a Western perspective. The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife is overtly sexual, yet exaggerated to the point of comedy at the same time, or maybe that is my view as a Westerner.

Not sure what they are using as a sex toy in this one, but it looks awfully painful having those spikes on it…

And, rather fittingly, Kamala means “horrible” in Finnish. Tried it with Yandex Translate, and it checks out. Horrible Harris.

Found this interesting French artist, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, when I saw he was listed as one of Patrick Nagel’s inspirations; Toulouse-Lautrec advertisement art is undeniably very similar to Nagel’s stylised and ivory-skinned women, along with Japanese woodblock art. Toulouse-Lautrec also made several paintings depicting lesbian relationships.

Was looking up Erichthonius of Athens in Encyclopædia Britannica (Ninth Edition, obvi.), when I found an article on Erinna.

<ERINNA, a Greek poetess, the contemporary and friend of Sappho, was probably a native of Rhodes or the adjacent island of Telos, and was born about 630 B.C. Although she died at the early age of nineteen, her poems were amongst the most famous of her time. Of her best known poem, called Ἠλακάτη (the Distaff), which contained 300 lines, only four lines are now extant. It was written in a mixed dialect of Dorian and Eolian. Three epigrams in the Palatine anthology are also ascribed to her; but two of these are possibly spurious. Another poetess of this name is said to have flourished in the age of Demosthenes, but her existence if a matter of considerable uncertainity. The Erinna fragments were collected in Bergk’s Poetæ Lyrici Græci (Leipsic, 1867).

I'd listen. Only gone through the first two chapters with Elise reading, and she's still pretty adorable.

Still raging at all of the lost texts.

Getting a copy of the novelization of the webseries; what they really should have done is to get the cast to reprise their roles in audio dramas to continue the story of the webseries. In the UK audio dramas are quite popular, and you have countless original Doctor Who stories done that way.

Came across this book on the front page of Wikipedia. This whole lesbian pulp fiction sub-genre might be worth lokking into: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesbian_pulp_fiction

Got a giftcard for Christmas, and I am still looking at books. Aickman had been on my radar a while back, but it was only after I read the blurb on the back of The Late Breakfasters from 1964 (reprinted by Valancourt Books) that I was aware he wrote about lesbian relationships as well. Sounds like it might be another downer story, and Louise may or may not be a ghost…

<In The Late Breakfasters, young Griselda de Reptonville is invited by Mrs. Hatch to a house party at her country estate, Beams (which, incidentally, is haunted). There, amidst an array of eccentric characters and bizarre happenings, she will meet the love of her life, Louise. But when their short-lived relationship is cruelly cut short, Griselda must embark on a quest to recapture the happiness she has lost.

https://www.valancourtbooks.com/the-late-breakfasters.html

<Lesbian relationships clearly fascinated him. They form the clear subtext of a story such as "The School Friend", but even so that self-consciousness never impedes the advent of paranormal dread. His novel The Late Breakfasters, though not formally a ghost story, has a heroine who falls in love with an elusive maid she meets in a supposedly haunted country house. To love outside the norm, Aickman suggests, will always lead you into the realm of shadows.
